In a remote corner of Utah lies the secret outlaw kingdom of
Ben Curry. For fifteen years Curry has ruled supreme, as his
men have pulled jobs from Canada to Mexico. But the king is
getting old... he wants to turn his legacy over to someone
younger, tougher. Mike Bastian is Ben's adopted son, a young
man who can handle a knife, a gun, his fists, but a man who's
never broken the law.

Now, as treachery explodes among Ben's riders, and two honest
lawmen--Tyrel Sackett and Borden Chantry--begin to zero in on
the gang, Mike must choose...between his loyalty to Ben and
his yearning for a different life. Yet when the guns start
echoing off the Vermilion Cliffs, the time for choosing is
over--and the time for battle has begun.
